I would have thought that there would have been strick goverment regulation making sure they could handle a problem like this. I think this is a good case to prove that our congress is getting paid off to look the other way. Both parties are guilty because this did not start with Obama or Bush we have been drilling for oil for much longer.

as far as i'm concerned, it goes back really as far as Dick Cheney and George H.W. Bush in the early 90's.....

Dude they have been drilling for oil much longer then that. What do you think they had a way to stop these leaks and when Bush took office the technology just disappeared. Its apparent now that no one has had any safty plan for these types of disaster.
